anyone here own these or have experiences with these?

A dealer here is getting a pair in next week and I hope to set up a listening session next saturday.

I've been looking for a pair of high quality speakers. listened to a used pair of Dynaudio Audience 80s today and liked them but they didn't seem to "disappear" that well and sounded a bit thin (perhaps it was the set up at the dealer, ie. bad acoustics + 60 watt Ayre amp). these are about $360 less than the spendors SA1 (which will be relatively new, a local magazine has borrowed it for review).

Hi

I just want to stress that during my recent system building exercise the one thing that has really shocked me is how much the speaker cable affects the sound.

Do not listen to anyone who tells you otherwise, goto a real hifi shop and ask for a demonstration I guarantee that you will be amazed. If you cant hear the difference you have cloth ears and might as well just buy a wal mart CD player, a Crown amp and a pair of legacies and live happily ever after.

Hello fellow forum members. I've updated my myspace to now feature part 5 of an epic series of songs that I am writing based on "The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening" a Nintendo Gameboy classic.

You can also find another piece of original material on there and a cover of the Mr. Clean song. Here's jah link.

It only rattles at very low frequencies. Does this mean the driver is blown/starting to blow?

Also is there a pair of very bassy headphones anyone can recommend?

Hey All- I have reason to be in The City in a few weeks, Tuesday July 22nd to be exact, and thought it'd fun to meet up for some vinyl hunting, drinks or whatever. Stephen already confirmed he's free for at least a couple of drinks, so I think I'll leave it to him to choose the place.

So my new Rega P2 turntable (no glass platter) looks like it wobbles a little even with new records. It looks like the tonearm is floating up and down slightly.

Is this either common or acceptable? I got it from a dealer, so I'm sure they'd replace the platter (if that is indeed the problem).

Guys,

What's the recommenended listening distance for these speakers, I have them 7' apart left spkr 4.5' from side wall and right speaker 24" from side wall with the speaker 36" from back wall. The speakers are tilted 3" and I'm listening at 9' per manual, I'm I too far away and would 7' be too close? My listening height is 43". Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Wig

June 25th, Clifton and myself were winding down a discussion and Ethan Winer entered in and compared graph "A" (20-2khz measurements of room response) to the frequency response of a Bryston amplifier. I immediately saw a couple of problems.

1) Comparing the two graphs is completely inappropriate as I shall discuss near the bottom of the post.

2) Graph "A", which was suposedely a measurement of the room response in a normally furnished but untreated room at low frequencies, immediately raised red flags as to its accuracy.
